DSM announces today that is has completed its aquisition of Brazilian company Tortuga Companhia Zootécnica Agrária (Tortuga) which specialises in nutritional feed supplements. The initial aquistion was announced last year.

Stephan Tanda, Member of the DSM Managing Board and responsible for the Nutrition cluster, commented: “Completing the acquisition of Tortuga is a major step in the implementation of DSM’s Nutrition strategy. Our attention is now fully focused on ensuring a smooth integration of the Tortuga business in a timely and efficient manner, with business continuity and customer satisfaction as key priorities for us while we welcome Tortuga’s 1,200 employees to DSM.”

Full scale integration will now begin. A dedicated integration team consisting of both DSM and Tortuga representatives will work diligently to assess the best way to execute the integration while focusing on future synergy generation.
